Far Exceeded Expectations! [Posted on 2007-12-21]
I relied on the good reviews here on Amazon when buying this tool and I'm very glad I did. This is only the second pneumatic framing nailer I've used, though I've been doing woodworking and carpentry (not professionally) for over 30 years. I do have staplers and a nice Hitachi 16ga nailer, as well as a great palm nailer.
I switched to using screws for building my shop a few years ago and was pretty happy with the strength of the structure, plus the benefit that I could easily make changes as I went by just taking out the screws and re-doing it. This time I decided I didn't have the time and energy to drive that many screws, so I borrowed my brother's nailer. He's building a house next door and wasn't using his framing nailer at the time. It was heavy and kicked like a mule, misfiring often and turning nails into worms (though it may have been the low quality of the Chinese nails he had on hand). So I decided to invest in one of my own.
I thank all of you previous buyers for steering me to the best nailer I could have bought. It's light, soooooo easy to load and switch nail size, easy to adjust head depth... And for some reason the angle is and business end are just right that I had no trouble at all getting into tight spaces to deliver a nail exactly where I wanted.
Loading is so much easier with this machine than any I've seen. Most require opening hatches, unsnapping springs, etc. The Milwaukee just has a slot at the back where you drop in another clip and pull back an easy release on the side to push the clip forward. Removing them is as simple as pushing a button on the release that allows the clip to fall back to a spring stop, which you easily press and the clip comes right out the slot in the back... simple and ingenious!
Adjusting the head depth is as easy as turning a knob, because that's all you have to do.
But firing this baby is the neatest thing... it doesn't seem to be working at all to drive a full 3 1/2 inch 16d without any bounce, EVERY time... no misfire, no jam...PERFECT.
This tool saved me so much time on my addition I think it paid for itself the first week! Thank you Milwaukee and thank you Amazon for the great deal... and thanks again reviewers!
Reliable and easy to use. [Posted on 2007-12-27]
I have used this nailer for a month straight now building decks and sheds. I have had no problems with it, the rafter hook comes in very handy. If I could improve one thing then it would have to be the nail capaity. It would be nice to have a few more nails between refills. This gun has not misfired in over 10,000 nails. The rapid fire mode does double fire every now and then but that could have been a user problem.
I look forward to using this Milwaukee nailer for future projects.

I'm not a carpenter, but have worked in and around construction for a long time, so I'm a stickler for good tools and Milwaukee usually makes a fine quality tool. Bought this primarily for finishing my basement and it has worked flawlessly! Comfortable and easy to operate and a great price. Thanks to the pro carpenters for their reviews of this item... it's why I chose it.

I am in the process of building a house. I purchased the nailer to assist in the process. I am in no way a professional carpenter, just an above average handyman.
I own several pneumatic nailer, none of which are Milwaukee. After reviewing several nailer online and local stores. I liked the features of the Milwaukee the best.
I have fired about 13,000 nails through the gun so far. It has performed flawless. The selector switch to convert from single trigger fire to bump firing is fantastic. This is the only nailer that I have looked at that has this feature. The nailer is extremely light weight and very easy to use. The only draw back to the gun is the short magazine. You have to reload more.
Overall a fantastic product! I have no regrets in purchasing this nailer and would highly recommend it to anyone!
Very good nailer. Uses Paslode "Rounddrive" round-head nails [Posted on 2008-07-11]
Very good gun. Does not misfire or clog. Paslode 'rounddrive' round-head, paper collated nails work in this gun perfectly. This in effect gives you two nailers in one - a clipped head and a FRH.
